Good areas for living and investment in Greater Seattle
Im planning to buy an SFH or townhome and convert it from 2 to 3 bedroom for a forced appreciation. What are upcoming neighborhoods on Eastside or otherwise? Which areas should i completely avoid?
My budget is 700k. Ill be planning starting a family , so looking for decent school systems
TIA

Your budget will dictate where you buy in in the Seattle Market.
Plenty of areas on the rise especially with low inventory.
With Condo, keep in mind some HOAs will have to weight in on structural changes.
When it comes to schools, most buyers laser in on the school district. I'd advise to assess the actual school instead. Good and bad schools in both "good" and "bad" districts. Use Niche.com to dig in.
